328 Eater of Magic

Ringer lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep. In reality, however, he is deducing alchemical formulas in his head and simulating the actual process.

Complex runes flew in his mind, combined, and then dissipated. Recently, his body has undergone some changes, and he can maintain his energy even if he doesn't have to sleep, but he still maintains the same routine as before.

Sleep at 2 a.m. and wake up at 7 a.m., very regular! Only now, he devotes his sleep time to meditation, and he enjoys the feeling of tranquility.

Bang, bang...... A small but clear knock on the door made him open his eyes and look at the door suspiciously. It's so late, who is it?

Opening the door, Lan Ya, who was wearing pajamas, stood at the door, with a nervous expression, as if something had happened.

"What's wrong?" Ringer asked.

"In my room," Lanya whispered,

"There were horrible bugs, and I couldn't sleep in that room anymore."

"Bugs?" Ringer was surprised,

"What kind of bug?" The house is cleaned on time every day, every corner is cleaned, and professionals come regularly to deworm it, so it's unlikely that there will be bugs or anything like that.

That's why Ringer was surprised.

"It's black, it's flat, it has two tentacles on its head, it flies, it almost pounces on my face, it's scary." Lan Ya clutched her chest and said, her expression still palpitating.

"Cockroaches?" As soon as Lan Ya described it, Ringer immediately knew where the worm in her mouth was sacred. Unexpectedly, cockroaches would appear in this kind of residence.

Ringer couldn't help but marvel at the adaptability of this creature. Cockroaches prefer a warm, humid environment, and this kind of clean and bright mansion is not at all comparable to the damp and musty little dilapidated houses in the slums, not to mention the regular pesticide here.

"It turns out that it's called a cockroach, it's disgusting to hear the name." Lan Ya said with a frown.

"Did you kill it?" Lan Ya lowered her head, her small gloves touched the corners of her clothes, and she said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid of bugs, let alone bugs from another world, so I ran away immediately......"

"Let's go to your room." Ringer still couldn't believe that there were cockroaches here. Lanya's room is next to the Ringer room, separated by a wall, but the sound insulation is so good that even if you shout loudly in the house, the next door will not hear it.

Ringer turned on the light and stood in the doorway, his gaze sweeping every corner of the room. The room is simply furnished, with only a bed, a wardrobe, and a set of tables and chairs.

There was no peculiar smell in the house, but there was a faint fragrance, which was very similar to the aroma on Lan Ya's body. In such a clean and simple environment, will there really be cockroaches who like it?

Ringer unleashed his mental powers, searched every corner of the room, and found a cockroach under the cabinet, and it was very large, about the size of an adult's thumb.

There really is, and it's such a big one. Ringer remembered that sentence -

"When you see a cockroach appear in front of you, it means that there are already thousands of cockroaches lurking around you, right out of your sight......" So he expanded the search area, and his mental power covered the entire house, and every corner of the house could not escape his search, even including the sewer pipes and the inside of the walls.

The perception made his scalp tingle. The crowded cockroaches in the sewers are like tumbling oil, almost filled, but fortunately the people who live in this house have little need to excrete, otherwise the sewers would have been blocked.

In addition to this, the scene inside the walls is also shocking, and the hollow walls are almost filled.

"It can't be!" Ringer's brow furrowed. Even in the underground dwellings of the slums, it is impossible to have so many cockroaches, it is like gathering all the cockroaches in the nearby area.

What do they eat here? There is no way there is enough food to survive such a large number of cockroaches.

Strangely enough, Ringer had never seen a cockroach in the kitchen. According to common sense, if there were so many cockroaches hiding in the house, even if there was only one brave individual among a thousand cockroaches, with such a huge number, the cockroach warriors would have already had a party in the kitchen.

But there wasn't one, they just seemed to hide quietly in the dark sewers and walls, never out to hang out.

Except for the one in Lanya's room. If it weren't for this little mischievous, Ringer would never have imagined that there would be such a huge colony of cockroaches hidden under this glamorous mansion.

"Ringer, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ringer was silent for a long time, Lanya asked him in a strange whisper.

"Nothing." If he told her that there were countless cockroaches hiding in the house now, Ringer was afraid that it would scare her, so he decided to wait until he went to the store after work.

She knew she wouldn't come back to live here.

"That cockroach is under the closet, help me get rid of it." Lanya pointed to the bottom of the cabinet. Ringer nodded, raised his hand, and a wisp of magic spread from his fingertips, and the magic filament extended under the cabinet, dragging the cockroach out.

Seeing the cockroach struggling in mid-air, Lan Ya hurriedly hid behind Ringer, a pair of small hands tightly grasping his clothes.

"Quick, throw it out."

"If you throw it out, it may come back, so let's just destroy it." A small flame erupted from Ringer's fingertips, as faint as a candle flame, but with a heat that candles could not match, a flame of magic.

Maybe it's because Ringer is a native and his magic isn't very heavily suppressed, so he can use some simple magic, such as this fireball spell - of course, it looks like it should be called flame now.

If it is replaced by Lanya, to achieve the same effect, the mana cost will be several times that of Ringer. The flames moved along the magic silk, drifting towards the cockroach at the end, getting closer and closer.

Ringer thought that the cockroach would be burned to ashes in an instant by the magic flames from the otherworld. However, when the flame enveloped it, it didn't even burn a leg.

It had even become more energetic, six serrated legs tugging at the air energetically.

Seeing this scene, Ringer was stunned. Lan Ya also opened her mouth wide, looked at the cockroach, and said, "Ringer, this bug called 'cockroach' you mentioned must be a very rare elite creature on your side, right?" At this time, the cockroach actually bit off Ringer's magic wire, fell to the ground, moved its six legs in unison, and crawled under the bed at a rapid speed.

But Ringer's reaction was also quick, and quicker. Syllable! He flashed forward and stepped down, a pop on the soles of his feet.

Lanya stared at Ringer's foot, her hands over her mouth, her stomach churning. This room - couldn't stay any longer!
